We lucked out and made the first tender to the private island. There were an abundance of lounge chairs and the beach never felt crowded. The weather was partly cloudy and was about 82°F and the water temperature was said to be about 72°F. My personal goal for this cruise, being my first, was to try snorkeling for the first time in my life. I was happy that the snorkeling was all day and included the necessary equipment.

I was not 100% impressed with the “lesson” we received, but the “instructor” was accommodating when a few of us stayed with him to ask a few more questions. He also knew a lot about what kind of marine life we could expect to see, and even explained to us how the equipment is cleaned, sanitized, and maintained. The water was cool at first, but once submerged, it was nice. For me, the snorkeling was awesome, I love to swim and be in the water, I was in total awe when I started seeing sting rays and several different types of fish, the water was very clear and there was a “ship wreck” and an airplane where a lot of fish congregated. I was in the water for about 2 hours and then later for another 45 minutes or so, I did not see as much the second time in, I think the earlier you get there the better the view.

There was a barbecue lunch buffet that was terrific, the ribs were great and there was a lot of fruit and other side dishes available. They also were serving cheeseburgers and hot dogs, macaroni and cheese, a variety of salads, and there was plenty of tea, water, punch…being offered. There were some dessert breads and cookies, as well. I am a big water drinker and I found a water cooler in one of the bars, so I was able to stay plenty hydrated. Co-Co Cay is a beautiful island, this was one of the best features of the cruise.
